Create fun, exploding hot chocolate bombs filled with cocoa and marshmallows for a delightful treat or gift.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz good quality chocolate (milk, semi-sweet, or dark), chopped
  • 1/2 cup hot chocolate mix
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • Optional: sprinkles, crushed peppermint, edible glitter
  • Optional: white chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
  2. Coat the molds: Pour about 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into each half of a silicone sphere mold (1.5 to 2-inch diameter). Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the inside of each mold cavity, ensuring no gaps. Place the mold in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Apply a second coat of chocolate to each cavity, focusing on the rim, and chill again until firm.
  3. Fill the bombs: Gently remove the chocolate spheres from the mold. Fill half of the spheres with hot chocolate mix, mini marshmallows, and any other desired fillings like sprinkles or crushed peppermint.
  4. Seal the bombs: Warm a clean, dry plate by placing it in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Take an empty chocolate half-sphere and place its rim onto the warm plate for a few seconds to slightly melt the edge. Immediately place a filled half-sphere on top, pressing gently to seal them together. Repeat with remaining bombs.
  5. Decorate (Optional): Drizzle with melted white chocolate and add sprinkles or edible glitter for extra flair.
  6. Serve: Place one hot chocolate bomb in a mug. Pour 8-10 oz of hot milk over it and watch it melt and release the marshmallows. Stir well and enjoy your rich hot cocoa.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for best results; it will be sturdier and shinier.
  • Ensure your silicone molds are clean and dry before coating with chocolate.
  • Work relatively quickly when sealing the bombs to prevent the chocolate from melting too much.
  • These make excellent gifts for holidays or special occasions.
  • For a different flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder to the hot chocolate mix.
